Movie Match

Worksheet Description
This worksheet focuses on people at a movie theater who voted for their favorite movie genres, with data separated by gender—men and women. Students are instructed to create a double bar graph based on the provided data, which includes the number of votes for action, comedy, drama, horror, and sci-fi genres. After constructing the graph, they will answer questions that ask them to determine the most popular genre among men, the total number of people who voted for comedy, and which genre had the biggest difference in votes between men and women. This exercise involves both graph creation and analytical thinking, allowing students to practice their data interpretation skills.
The worksheet is designed to teach students how to accurately construct and interpret double bar graphs, emphasizing the comparison of two related data sets. By plotting votes from men and women side by side, students learn to visually compare preferences and identify trends or significant differences. The questions that follow the graph creation encourage students to engage in critical thinking by analyzing the data to answer specific inquiries. Additionally, this exercise reinforces basic arithmetic skills, such as addition and comparison, all within a context that is relatable and engaging for students.
